Should good things only come at a cost? Why is it that waxing makes you look so good, but feel so terrible during the process? That’s because you didn’t know what precautions to take. Yes, painless waxing is possible. If only you remember a few things the next time you head for a session. Try and follow them and see how much more painless your waxing can get. 1. Go at the right time If the length of your unwanted hair is too short, it will slip out of the waxing strip’s grip and not get removed. The result will be pain with nothing to show for it. If your hair is too long, the waxing strip will just tear the follicles from the middle instead of from the roots. The result is more painful than normal. Ideally, you should go when the hair is a quarter of an inch long for the most painless waxing session possible. 2. Go right after taking a yoga class Doing yoga will make your limbs flexible.

Find a good numbing cream There are numbing creams available at the chemists which are effective enough to see you through a waxing session. Go for a good brand, and use it half an hour before waxing. You will wonder when the waxing happened! 6. Take a mild pain killer Find a mild pain reliever that is available over the counter and have this half an hour before waxing in case you don’t want to go for numbing cream. 7. Distract yourself while waxing If at home, keep your favourite movie on. If in the salon, chat with your beautician. This will keep your mind off any pain. After all, everything can be controlled by the mind. 8. Start waxing small areas If you are waxing your leg, instead of starting with the whole length of your leg, start with your ankles and work slowly up. Same for your arms. Start...
